Zostel's staff were extremely nice and helpful with everything from arranging bus tickets to actually dropping me off themselves. Rahul and the team are friendly and genuinely good people. The hostel has all th facilities that you could ask for, including a kitchen and water purifier. It tends to attract travellers who, like myself, were looking to meet other people and hang out for a few days - I met some great people there. Oh, did I mention that it's only a five minute walk to the beach??

The hostel is somewhat far from the centre (30 minutes), if you want to walk (there is a bus stop nearby though). The rooms are basic but clean. Weirdly, the bathroom fans, which are extremely loud, come on automatically and cannot be turned off every day for an hour at 8 am and 8 pm, so don't plan on sleeping past 8 am, or bring earplugs. Overall the hostel is OK but I would search for an alternative if I came back.

Thank your for replying to us. I just want to mention that you can reach city centre with the 10 minutes bus ride. As the bathroom fans are all connected in one system - sometimes they turn on automatically when most of the guests is eg. taking morning/evening shower, so we cannot change it at the moment. We are doing our best to improve as much as we can to satisfy guests, especially because we have just opened a month ago. We hope for you to come back to us and enjoy what we have improved.

The rooms are fantastic with lots of space (twin private ensuite). The location is close to the centre, about a 15 minute walk. WiFi only works in the common area, which could be improved upon. Decent hostel, I would stay there again.

The hostel is well located, close to the train station and a short walk to the old port. It wasn´t anything special but the price/value ratio was good. The two person ensuite bathroom didn´t have a toilet but had shower, which was weird. Not a huge deal but annoying for a middle of the night bathroom break.

Great hostel, close to subway stops. The staff were friendly and the facilities were wonderful. My room did not have the privacy curtains and lockers underneath the beds as advertised but it didn't bother me. Overall, a great hostel but you pay for it, it's a little pricey for what amounts to a basic stay.

Hi!
Thank so much for taking the time to get back to us. We're always looking to improve the experience we provide for our guests and which is why your feedback is so important to us.We are really please to hear that you've enjoyed your stay at the St-Christopher's Canal despite the little inconvenient of not having a privacy curtains which unfortunately is not available in the ensuite dorm since the beds are not bunk beds.
We are hoping to see you in the future.
Kind regards,

Despite arriving in tumultuous times in Egypt, our stay at the American House was fantastic. The staff are extremely friendly and the rooms are clean, not to mention comfortable beds. I would definitely go back.

The beds are nice and the room is clean. The staff are extremely pushy with their offers, which are expensive. A basic breakfast is not included and they charge 3 JD, not worth it. They turn off the hot water during the day and didn't tell us. Overall the Cleopetra is not good value for the money, not to mention that the staff are unhelpful. I wouldn't go back again.

Dear Peter,
First of all thank you for your comment about our place .
Second I feel sorry that you didn't appreciate is least us waiting for you till 2 am and arranging you a car from Aqaba port to Petra with the fare price 40 JD so we didn't ask for 100 JD !!? Beside that we do our best to help our guests and we never been pushy but if you consider it that way then you free to think the way you want but that wont stop us to hesitate helping our guests !!
Thank you again.
Management

This is a great place to stay in Dahab, two minutes away from the main strip. Ehad, the manager, is very helpful with everything. Great deal too, free water, tea, coffee, shisha and breakfast, can't beat it.

The Oasis Hotel is probably the best value for money you will get in all of Egypt, and that is not an exaggeration. It is a three minute walk from the train station, five minutes to the Luxor temple. Hassan, the manager, is super nice and really helpful with everything. They also have a great rooftop restaurant where travelers can hang out, with very reasonably priced food and beer. I would definitely go back there again if I was in Luxor.

The Keylany was a great place to stay in Aswan. The staff were super helpful with everything from booking tours to how much one should pay for basic items. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, as a bonus, there is satellite tv as well. A small luxury but valued nonetheless!
